I was laying in our back yard. It was a clear night and I was looking at the stars.

All of a sudden, this round light raced across the sky. It appeared to be in our outer atmosphere. The light was as bright as the stars, but the size, if I held a No. 2 pencil out, the size was the roundness of the eraser. Measuring from where I was, it travelled a straight line about eight inches, and then stopped, and at an angle like a V, travelled another straight eight inches, and stopped, and a V again, travelled another eight inches, and then disappeared. The pattern was a Z pattern.

That is it. I can not identify it. It was way to fast for a helicopter, Jet, or even a rocket. Plus it stopped for an instant and changed directions. Twice.
